King cake recipe

INGREDIENTS

- 2 puff pastries 

- 100 g icing sugar 

- 100 g of Lescure butter 

- 100 g of egg 

- 10 g of flour 

- 100 g almond powder 

- 1 beaten egg yolk

METHOD

1. Prepare the almond cream: 

Mix the icing sugar and the soft butter, then add the eggs. 

Add the flour and almond powder at the end of the preparation. 

2. Mount the cake:

Arrange the first puff pastry, then spread the almond cream from the center, making sure to leave a circular rim of 3cm. 

Place the penny, preferably at one end of the slab so as not to interfere when cutting with a brush and a little water.

Slightly moisten the entire rim. 

Arrange the second puff pastry on top and then join stronger the edges.

Using a knife, draw your decorations directly on the dough and then brush over with a beaten egg yolk. 

3. Place in the oven for 45 minutes at 180 degrees.

Enjoy !
